The issue we WON'T palm off
The team at Dindi Naturals are as passionate about our planet as our products. We strive to maintain high ethical standards which ensure all our ingredients are environmentally friendly, sustainable and animal cruelty free. We don’t use palm oil or any of its 200 plus deceptive aliases and here’s why.
Palm oil plantations are now the leading cause of rainforest destruction in Indonesia and Malaysia, with Indonesia being devastated faster than any other country in the world. Deforestation contributes a staggering 20% to global warming. Land clearing fires cause some of the world’s worst pollution, affecting neighbouring countries.
Natural habitats for many species, including orangutans, tigers, elephants and rhinos are being destroyed. An average of 50 orangutans die every week, resulting in a 50% decline in populations over recent years.
Australia imports over 130,000 tonnes of palm oil per year. Approximately 50% of packaged food and consumer products ranging from cosmetics, cleaning products, hair care, soap and candles contain palm oil.
Dindi Naturals dedicate many hours of research to sourcing equally effective alternatives. Our shampoo soaps are even certified Palm Oil Free.
